The word, Permaculture (Permanent Culture) was coined by two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren. Permaculture borrows from indigenous wisdom across the world as well as modern developments and concepts.
Permaculture in its core sense, is a design science for creating productive ecosystems. It follows the principles of nature and teaches one to live abundantly in harmony with all the diversity around. One can practice permaculture from a space as small as a balcony, a farm house, all the way up to the whole planet.
If you’ve been waiting for a workshop to learn the ins and outs of systematically designing a farm space and living a truly sustainable lifestyle, then this is it! Geeli Mitti is back with our annual International Permaculture Design Certification course, this year with Holi celebrations included!
The Geeli Mitti CoE (Centre of Excellence) at Nainital is much beyond a permaculture farm as the term is typically understood. We are located within the ecologically diverse Naina Devi Bird Conservation Zone and surrounded by gurgling streams and Himalayan oak forest. The campus is set-up to offer –
– high quality international PDC (Permaculture Design Certificate) courses and demonstrate permaculture practices and principles.
– extensive demonstrable natural building techniques and workshops.
– community volunteering services and projects for livelihood generation.
No prior experience or training of any sort is required. Suitable for all fitness levels and age.
This course is a 16 days immersion into permaculture and sustainability, from 19th March to 3rd April ’27.
